Dialight Optopipe Light Pipe Description

This Optopipe™ is mounted through the rear of the panel and is retained by press fit. The light pipe is not attached to the PCB at any point but floats above it. The diffused light emitting surfaces appear bright and uniformly illuminated. The recommended light sources are Dialights 597 Series PLCC-2 or PLCC-4 Type SMT LEDs. The light source’s emitting surface should be located no more than 0.020 or 0.5mm from the Optopipe™. The SMT LEDs are mounted in a straight line under the rear of the part on a 6.35 mm pitch. The light pipe material is water clear transmissive polycarbonate rated UL94-V0, and has a 35 oxygen index.
